It’s actually a very soft bill, it has no requirements to make hardware that is actually pro-consumer.
Which is likely why they switched to supporting it. It was this or more strict requirements in the future.
That's disheartening but I figured it had to be something like that. Ultimately then the danger will be thinking "great, now right to repair is fixed", plus Apple gets to claim they were altruistic. Ugh.
We fixed right to repair in 2023 just like we fixed racism by electing Obama in 2008
Can’t wait to see how you fix your healthcare system.
Duh, ObamaCare, what more could we ask for?
the tools will probably cost as much as the device and the replacement parts will be locked, requiring Apple s expensive tools
Apple won't be forced to change their current business practice if soldering everything to the logic board, security chips disabling devices after repairs unless unlocked with their proprietary software, etc, so it won't affect their monopolizing of the Apple repair market. They'll just have to offer logic boards for sale with a one pg PDF showing how to replace the board, and maybe they'll make the security software fix more available (which would still be huge). But 99% of their users likely wouldn't do it themselves anyway.
Either way, this is still a huge step in the right direction though!
